We don't get a lot of snow/ice here but I wouldn't think much would work well on sheet ice except for chains/studs.
yeah, I wasn't talking about black ice. nothing works on that except the mentioned stud/chains or slowing the hell down. I meant the ice that forms from repeated compression of the snow on the road by tires.
I don't know why they weren't good in the rain tho, all I know is that from a stop sign on wet roads I'd have to take it easy in 1st so to not spin the back tires. and once they let go, it was like they had a hard time grabbing back ahold of the road. but in snow and on "hard packed" ice, they would dig alittle and bite very well.
